Sharp edges, exposed outlets, tiny tripping hazards scattered everywhere—wouldn’t it be amazing if there were a single, magic trick to make your home child-safe? Whether you’re a parent or a grandparent, childproofing can feel overwhelming at first glance, but it’s one of the best steps you can take for peace of mind. And while you’re tackling potential risks, one you don’t want to overlook is cords. No need to stress, though; our team at Bazaar Home Decorating has what you need to make this an easy fix. Check out our child safe blinds, and mark this one off your list!
#1 No Cords, No Problems
Children are known for their creativity. They can turn anything into a toy. A window treatment cord can look like the perfect plaything! It dangles at eye level, inviting little hands to grab it, pull it, and swing it around. Kids might imagine it as a jump rope, a “vine” to swing on, or even a fun mystery that unravels with every tug. The cord’s movement and accessibility make it feel like an irresistible game—but that innocent curiosity can lead to real danger if they get tangled up.
Shutters
Taking away the cord will take away your concern. One stunning option for child-safe window treatments is shutters. The louvers open and close, so there are no cords involved.
LiteRise
Another great option is LiteRise. This is a cordless operating system. All you do is gently pull down on the shade or push it up into position, then they stay in place. By eliminating the cord, you eliminate stress!
#2 Make Them Motorized
When you start exploring ways to childproof your home, “fun and exciting” might not be the first words that come to mind—but we’re here to surprise you! Our child-safe window treatments bring the best of both worlds. This is thanks to innovative motorization.
Smart Shades
Motorized blinds let you create custom schedules, adjust shades with a remote or smart device, and even connect to your smart home for voice-activated control.
Wand Control
One of our latest motorization innovations is SoftTouch. This is a sleek wand that controls individual window treatments. To open or close the shade, just pull up or down on the wand. If it gets yanked too hard, the wand will dislodge, and all you have to do is stick it back on the magnet.
#3 Child-safe Cords
Every home has character, and sometimes a cord is essential. That’s why we offer two secure options: one that keeps cords safely fastened to avoid any dangling temptations, and another that keeps cords short and safely out of reach from curious little hands—or paws, if you have pets!
The first option is a continuous cord loop. The cord attaches to a tensioner in the window frame. Therefore, it isn’t swinging around. The second is an UltraGlide cord. This is retractable, so you pull it to adjust your window treatments, and then it retracts to its shortened length.
